Not a dick measuring contest.
Just a difference of incentives.
Trump Tower was built privately.
Private capital has to earn its keep and people actually have to choose to stay there, buy a condo, or lease space.
Bad design or function gets punished fast with empty rooms, lost revenue, and real pain for the builder.
That’s why you get something tall, useful, and still valuable decades later.
The Obama library is a legacy project with roughly the same money.
Foundations, donors, and public land perks funded it. The people writing the big checks aren’t the daily users, and there’s no monthly rent test forcing constant improvement.
And the result is a lot of “iconic”, whatever that means, and not much everyday value. (And they made it ugly)
The TLDR is that free markets don’t promise perfection, but they do make waste expensive and reward what people voluntarily pay for.
Different incentives, different buildings.
This is not hard. 80% of the American people want the SAVE America Act to pass, not 80% of Republicans, 80% of Americans.
The only organization that refuses to act is the United States Senate.
We have a responsibility to secure the voting process for the American people.

And, I trust, shall do so again."

POLL: ICE has been abused by the Fake News Media at levels never seen before. They are Great Patriots who work hard, and do a fantastic job in a very hostile environment. Much of this hostility is caused by the Dumocrats and the Fake News. The concept I have had for quite some time — A strong feeling that the name of these Patriots, “ICE,” should be changed to, “NICE,” in that it will totally discombobulate Crooked, Dishonest, and Unpatriotic Reporters and Journalists. For them to say, “We went to a NICE Facility today,” as opposed to “ICE” or, “NICE Agents have deported a Violent Drug Dealer,” they won’t be able to handle it, they will go totally crazy! All it means is adding an “N” (“National”) to “ICE (“Immigration and Customs Enforcement”) — A much more prestigious name. Everyone loves it, but I have been told by the legendary Tom Homan that the Agents do not love it as much as the other population. Who thinks that we should add an “N” to change the name of “ICE” to “NICE?”
Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT
When I got arrested for Nazi Pug, I got held in jail until my court date due to the "serious nature" of my "offence".
But the guy who threw a toddler into a crocodile enclosure to try and have him ripped limb from limb has already been bailed the very next day.
Clown country.
@RazorFist It was too long. Costume/makeup design was really good. Some jokes landed, most didn't. 1 good action scene. Should have gone for a PG rating. 6/10
